100) No One Likes Aging

For my 100th post, I will discuss everyone's favorite topic...aging.

When thinking about aging, I  have typically confined my perspectives to behavior.  I recognized that I preferred staying in on the weekends or that I worried about how manicured my lawn looked.  Or I saw the crap on TV and wondered how anyone could receive any enjoyment watching shows that have the Kardashians, or a bunch of hillbillies searching for bigfoot by cooking bacon in the woods.  These minor shifts in behavior made me feel older.  However, recently I have begun thinking about the physical manifestation of aging.  Following is a short list of things things I do differently because of aging.  Forces me to wonder what I am missing:

• Try to put moisturizer directly on my crow's feet, which have become ferociously out of hand as I have gotten older
• I now take vitamins.  I play soccer with an older guy (together we are easily the two oldest on the field at any given time.  We sometimes joke about playing with the kids out there and he told me that he is able to keep up because of vitamins.  Sounds good to me...
• I try to drink milk now on a regular basis.  Similar to the above, I noticed after soccer games that my foot hurt and would not heal.  For awhile I thought it was a bruised bone that was not healing fast enough.  My goal was to get more Vitamin D because I remember mom telling me to drink milk because it was good for my bones.  Not sure if this holds true for the aging as well as the growing, but it certainly couldn't hurt.
• I have to get up at least once, sometimes twice, each night to go to the bathroom.  Not sure why this is happening, but I suppose it is better than peeing in bed.
• I have to stretch for about half an hour before I do anything athletic.  Otherwise, I can't move the next day.  It is the most boring half hour of my life, as I do not like stretching.  
• I eat oatmeal every morning because a doctor once told me that eating oatmeal helps lower cholesterol.  And I know that japanese are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol.
• My hair is definitely starting to thin.  I do not do anything specific for this, as I am not sure there is anything to do.  I keep my hair short and just don't worry about it.
• Ridiculous amounts of hair on my ears.  I feel like Yoda.  Amazes me, as I do not understand why this is happening.  Why is it necessary for me to have 24 really long hairs on the outside of my ears?  They do not keep me warm, they do not detect anything as I move about.  They certainly don't make me any more attractive.  And it hurts when I have to pull them out!
